Light cloud ....



13th December 2025 (Saturday)     10.45 .... It's easy to 'sleep in'  with the dark mornings


we have at this time of year;   I didn't get 'up' until 08.15!    It's a nice enough morrrrrrrning now, but, with the kind of air we have today I'm glad that I went to 'Nana's Seat' yesterday.    I'll write the rest of the Christmas cards today, then do some 'ousewotk.     I'll have a run out in the car in the afternoon;  and probably deliver a few cards.   Right now, it's 'morning coffee' time!    

The run in the car depends on how heavy the rain is, that is forecast for the afternoon!   There's a 'Possible Yellow Warning'  (for heavy rain) that includes Fife.   

14.45    The wind had freshened, but at least the rain has yet to arrive;  which is good for anyone on the golf course today..... although it would feel cold in the wind.   I went for a short run in the car;  but only to Chapel Green and Kinneuchar.     I'm going to put the kettle 'on', make a cuppa then write a few Chrissy cards.   It's a good day for doing that.

22.00    I've had a busy day writing Christmas cards;   all I have to do now is sort out the ones I want Rotary to deliver.   I went for a run in the car before the rain started at 15.00.   It had been fairly miserable since then;  and it's to be wet again tomorrow, though it might brighten up in the middle of the day.   I was thinking of delivering a few Christmas cards, but I'll leave that for a sunny day.

When I was out at the bin it was raining steadily, and it will be all night, because it forecasting rain tomorrow morning.    It will be a good day for 'ousework.   Emily, John, are coming up for a couple oh days next week, with the 'Troops'. Henry and Austin.   Hence the 'ousework!    I'm away to make the 'orlicks and watch 'Vera' solve another crime!

Quiet morning ....

7th May 2025 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is today's weather forecast for.... KY9, Ellon, Uckfield (Sussex) and London:  it's going to be a bonnie day all over the UK.  The breeze is from the Easterly direction so the East coast will be cooler; but it will be warm sheltered from the breeze.   It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning at Elie and Earlsferry:  the sky is a mix of fluffy clouds and blue bits, and the temperature is 11.6C just now.   3.3C was the minimum overnight.  20.30     I'd been reading about the cyber attack on M & S, Harrods and the Co-op... so, feeling inquisitive, for my morning 'mission' I decided to go to The Store (Ainster) and see how the 'attack' was affecting our local 'Store'.   The first thing I noticed was the car park wasn't as busy as normal and all the Disabled spaces were empty.  Inside the store,  the empty vegetable and fruit...

3rd October 2025 (Friday)     10.30 .... It's a quiet morning; after a lot of overnight rain this is the calm before the storm.... 'Storm Amy', that is going to bring strong winds and heavy rain, this afternoon and Saturday.  It could be a good drying morning!   Anyway all is still at the moment.   I'm going to see if I can rescue a few of the apples that are still attached to the tree.    Actually I think I'll have morning coffee first. 04 12.30    We had a power cut  (45 minutes) last night ,so I unplugged the computer.    We got the torches and candles out, chatted for a while then went to bed.

Windy and wet .....

4th August 2025 (Monday)    08.45 ....  It's breezy with light rain just now;  but the rain is going to move away and the wind freshen to 'gale', with sunny intervals and squally showers, by midday.   There could interesting clouds, and stormy seas.    I won't be going out on the bike!    High tide is at 11.20;  there will be an abundance of fresh air on the beach today.  11.00  The wind is freshening, from the SW, as can be seen in the photo of the 'Glenfuir' flags (Swiss, USA and Jersey).    Sunny intervals are starting to come over, so it's a bonnie enough day now, albeit breezy:  F5 - 6 with stronger gusts now and again. 19.30  It has certainly been a wild old day, but the wind is moderating, and tomorrow will be much quieter.   It was F8 - 9 at times out on the bay.   Which is why HMS Iron Duke (Type 23 frigate) is sheltering off Elie and Earlsferry.      HMS Iro...
